We note that some sections of the media have tried to link other Muslims including CAGE to the alleged suspect, Mohamed Amoudi:
– Firstly, we wish to make it clear that the event that is claimed Mr Amoudi attended was not organised by CAGE.
– Secondly, and more importantly, this practice of guilt by association and smearing of Muslim individuals and organisations is now almost a daily trope. This contributes significantly to the rise of the far right politics we are now witnessing. This has also led to an escalation in the rise of racist and islamophobic attacks.

We will comment further as and when more facts are available.
